So that means 6ish. I use a flashlight to keep him in view as his tags and orange collar are visable in the dark a bit but any light makes then very visible.

I also let himut at Dusk when the puppies are tired and sleepy. Though I can;t always count on that. Darn it!

Since the puppies have become very active he goes wild during the day so I can't let him out on the weekends or holidays when J&W are home.

I asked them to let me know if they are letting the puppies out, but they are annoyed at me so won't tell me. So Charlie gets less time out.

That will change once the puppies are gone. I felt sorry for them when I heard what the Dog breeded did to them - posted earlier.

So thanks for the kind thoughts. I pray when he opts for racing up and down the fence. He could make his injury worse. Prays please for his not doing that. Oh well.. he is a dog!
